> From what i gather, most millionaires (not super wealthy) had relatively common jobs or business and became wealthy through savings.

I happen to be reading "The Millionaire Next Door" [1], and this has some truth to it (statistical excerpts [2]). Most "working class" Millionaires own a small business and are very frugal, continuing to live below their means after obtaining their wealth. Frugality alone will not help you attain the quoted wealth level, but it is a component (along with a healthy income and/or equity/asset ownership).

With reference to "common jobs", that would be limited to high income professions, such as doctors and attorneys.

There's also ways to inherit wealth that isn't directly just receiving cash. It can be inheriting your parents' house, car, antiques, or simply inheriting a life that didn't begin in the slums or ghettos.
